Tis' the season to - most definitely - be jolly.
Our favourite beauty brands are offering marvelous discounts off exclusive coffret sets so that you can pamper yourself. Yes, contrary to popular belief that Christmas is a time of giving to everyone else but yourself, we believe you have every reason to treat yourself to a nice present after a year's of hard work. Well, if you must share the joy with someone (to make yourself feel better), then she has to be your soul sister - either the best friend or twin sister.
We've picked out three sets of beauty coffrets with the greatest star value - that is, it includes a star product and all in all, the contents give the most value of money.
SK-II Pitera Miracle Gift Set
 |
This exciting gift set contains SK-II's latest product, Skin Signature. It is the brand's latest anti-aging moisturising cream which helps to restore firmness, smoothness and radiance to the skin from within. You will feel an immediate difference to your skin the next morning if you leave it in overnight. If you have not tried it, this is a steal.
For less than $100, you get a tub of Skin Signature (15g), SK-II's star product - Facial Treatment Essence (30ml), Facial Treatment Cleanser (20g), Facial Treatment Clear Lotion (40ml), and the Facial Treatment Mask (1 pc), originally worth $133. It has everything you need for a basic skin care regime, plus a step-up-step instruction sheet to guide you through the use of the products.
This gift set comes in a luxurious red leather case, so presentable you don't have to worry about repackaging it when you give it away as a present. But most of all, you get the best of SK-II in one bundle. Retails at a special price of $99 at all SK-II counters in major department stores this Christmas.
If you are looking to start a skincare regime with SK-II, you can also opt for the SK-II Pitera Commitment Set. This set comes with Facial Treatment Essence (150ml), Facial Treatment Cleanser (120g), Facial Treatment Cleasing Gel (15g), Facial Treatment Clear Lotion (20ml), Facial Treatment Mask (1pc), Skin Signature (15g). This Christmas it costs only $230 (originally worth $314).
Indulge in Origins
 |
In this box of treats, you get Origins best-selling cleanser Checks and Balances Frothy face wash (150ml). But what caught my attention was that this gift set also includes the Modern Friction Nature's gentle dermabrasion and A Perfect World Antioxidant moisturiser with White Tea (30 ml).
The former is a scrub which is made up of rice starch cushioned in luxurious cream. It effectively gives skin a gentle yet good slough to remove the dead cells to brighten and restore evenness of the skin. The latter is another product which got me excited. A Perfect World Antioxidant moisturiser contains White Tea, a key ingredient which is known to boost skin's natural defenses and protects against the damaging effects of the sun and aging.
While this set takes care of skin needs, it lets you pamper your body too with the Ginger Burst Savory Body Wash (100ml) and Ginger Souffle Whipped body cream (200ml). All the five items come in a colourful holiday gift box made from recycled materials, which also means it can be reused as a handy storage box. The set is worth $208 but for this special season, you can get all that at a neat price of $150 at all Origins counters at leading department stores.
Rock 'n' Roll Diva Look Set

Admit it, whenever we buy Anna Sui products, we are in it for her designs - cosmetics that come with the signature rose and uniquely crafted all-black fittings.
The Christmas edition, which comes in a chic purple box, contains the Eye Colour Accent #006, Super Black Mascara Long Lash and Face Colour Accent #302.
The Eye Color Accent #006 is a sparkly black eye shadow for you to create the ultimate smoky eyes for the Rocker Chic effect. We love Super Black Mascara Long Lash, which does wonders to your lashes, no matter the length. It will make your lash fuller and more luscious after applying a few coats at your lash tips.The Face Color Accent #302 is a neutral pink blush which accentuates your cheekbones in just a few strokes.
Not only does Anna Sui's make-up look good, it works well. This party coffret costs $94 and it is available at Isetan Orchard, Isetan Scotts, Isetan Katong, Takashimaya and BHG Bugis.
